Puffin Web Browser alternative for iOS users

Dear all,

Apparently Puffin Web Browser will be disappearing soon (see official message below) so, does anyone know of an alternative browser that supports flash for iOS users so I can use the chat room (I occasionally cam)?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Puffin Web Browser on iOS, Adieu

In December 2010, we at CloudMosa started Puffin Web Browser, which was an instant hit. Later, Puffin Academy was launched to help K12 students access education-related content on iOS devices.

On May 4, we announced that Puffin Web Browser and Puffin Academy on iOS will be discontinued. The reason is very simple. Development has long ceased since Apple saw Puffin as a rival and unfairly stopped us from releasing updates through App Store policies. It has become increasingly difficult to keep up with new Web technologies without being able to update the iOS apps. We recognized that the time has come to turn off the service.

For free Puffin Web Browser users, the service will shut down on July 1, 2019. For paid users of Puffin Web Browser, the service will be extended for a while for you to transition to another solution.

To everyone who used the Puffin Web Browser on iOS: thank you so much. We will keep the project running on Android. If you have enjoyed the experience of using Puffin Web Browser and Puffin Academy, please leave us a comment in the App Store.

That is a rubbish. I think any other service would come up with similar problems with apple unfortunately. Hope something turns up though . Stopped using apple personally about 10 years and i don't miss it one bit.

The problem isn’t with iOS it’s with a very poor cam system within fab. Like apple or not they are the phone of choice for lots of people and to have a cam chat that isn’t compatible is very dated.

I do love fab and the site btw but it could do with being brought up to date!!

The first iPhone is only 11 years old, so if you stopped using it 10years ago there wasn’t much to miss!

Iphone 4 i think was my last. Still had my ipod classic after that. Yes the chatrooms are using outdated tech, but it is basucally a free site and all upgrades cost money and this one wouldn't be cheap in time and money. The problem in this case is Apple's desire to control and moneytize everything within ios ecosystem.

Shocked at how rude some people are on FS! Received a what's app message with a simple 'Hi' nothing else and now realize the sender expected a response in minutes even though I was in a client meeting!!

So hello to abusive FS, we are a couple so kindly retract your accusations that my bf is a fake! Thank you and have a great day

Btw please don't contact us again

However you feel about it, Flash is being discontinued next year anyway so the systems will all need to change (flash end of life noted on Adobe website amongst other places)

So True, a lot of other communities have very good cam chat systems, this is very poor

Sorry, not great with tech, is this about just being able to view the people on cams in the chat or can you actually cam yourself using your phone?

We've never been able to do that from the site when on our phones, only cammed using the laptop.

OK that would make life easier!

It will be from an Android phone not an Iphone so what browser will be best for that if the Puffin one is stopping?

Do we need to install anything like you do on the laptop with flash player?

Pretty much any vpn will allow you to do that. The opera browser has one built in i think.
